Karl Rove Wimped Out In Las Vegas!

I was down at The Barnes and Noble book store on Maryland Pkwy in Las Vegas for the Karl Rove book signing event. The event was scheduled from 12-2 pm, on April 9, 2010.

I showed up at about 1:20 pm and was greeted at the door. I asked “Is Karl Rove Book signing still going on?” She responded, “Yes, over there. I noticed there were very  few people in the store.  I thought the place was going to be  mobbed! Nope!

I said I was with Las Vegas News Blog and wanted to get a book and get a short 2-3 question interview. She called over Karl Roves people.

They informed me that there wasn’t time to do an interview. I said, he’s here till 2 oclock right? They said yes. I said there’s nobody here! They then got aggressive with me and said Mr Rove will not be taking any questions and do not ask him.

At this point I felt threatened by his handlers and a bit pissed off.

His book is called “Courage and Consequence” and his handlers have the courage of an ant!

Let me be clear, I was there to get a signed book for my father because his is a Karl Rove fan. I wanted to ask him 3 questions.

1. “How do you think the GW Bush legacy will be remembered?”

2.” I know you are a Republican strategist, but if you had 1 or 2 suggestions for President Obama, what would they be?”

3. “What are some new insights you discovered as a result of writing your book “Courage and Consequence?”

That’s what I wanted to ask. He could’ve answered it in less than 2 minutes! Nobody was waiting in line.

Now here’s the real problem…
With the lightening speed of reported news, and all the independent blogs out there, high profile people do not feel safe to give interviews as freely as they once did.

They don’t want to end up being the next YouTube feature of the week on Fox or CNN. They don’t want to be embarrassed.

As my friend John Daly shared with me today, “If on the other hand, I was a recognized conservative blogger, I probably would have gotten the interview.”

Rove is a master at what gets out to the press. He’s at his own book signing. He could have talked about his own book! What a thought!

It’s one thing to write about Courage and Consequence. It’s another to be Courageous and accept Consequence.

As I am finishing writing this post, I hear on the local news station that a big group of people went to Barnes and Noble after I left and tried to make a citizens arrest!  So much for Courage and Consequence.

In closing, I wish Karl Rove no harm and all the best. However,
I just had 3 simple questions. Plus, would’ve promoted his book!

In any case, I am disappointed that I didn’t get the interview
for you on Las Vegas News Blog.

    2. Maybe he was mad at CODE PINK WOMEN for exposing him as the man he is a WAR CRIMINAL, HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSER, PERSECUTOR.

    After all he sold out Americans and STOLE our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS FOR THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Tell me what you're thinking...
